Casino Hotel is located on Willingdon Island, a man-made legacy of the Raj era and one of the reasons why Cochin ranks amongst the world's finest harbours. As you drive to the hotel you will pass the massive dockyards of this ancient port.
Once you have enjoyed the traditional welcome formalities you can settle into your room or take an excursion into Cochin or perhaps just relax next to the pool or take a massage at the Ayurveda Centre.
If you are planning to stay in Cochin for more than one night and your budget will permit try considering its sister hotel the Brunton Boatyard closeby. This is more expensive but has more character and has a wonderful colonial feel to it.
